Arbitrum has revealed plans to host a hackathon event called Stylus Blitz, aimed at encouraging developers to create projects utilizing the Stylus contract. The Stylus contract was successfully launched on Arbitrum Sepolia on June 17, paving the way for this exciting initiative. With a total funding pool of $15,000, the hackathon will support 10 selected projects, each receiving $1,500 to fuel their development.

The hackathon is scheduled to run for two weeks, concluding on June 30. Developers can submit their projects between June 24 and June 30, followed by a review period from July 1 to July 7. The winning projects will be announced on July 8. To participate, developers must create a Stylus contract deployed on Arbitrum Sepolia, focusing on tools and infrastructure that support Arbitrum Stylus. Original content is required, and priority will be given to Stylus contracts that interact with other EVM contracts.

By hosting this hackathon, Arbitrum aims to inspire innovation and creativity among developers, exploring the potential of the Stylus contract. This initiative demonstrates Arbitrum's commitment to fostering growth and collaboration within the developer community. With the Stylus contract offering improved efficiency and interoperability, the possibilities for innovative projects are vast.

The Stylus Blitz hackathon presents a valuable opportunity for developers to showcase their skills, receive funding, and contribute to the evolution of the Arbitrum ecosystem. As the event approaches, anticipation builds, and the community looks forward to witnessing the creative projects that will emerge.

Through this hackathon, Arbitrum is poised to further establish itself as a hub for innovation and developer collaboration, driving progress in the industry. With the Stylus contract at its core, this event is set to unlock new possibilities and inspire a wave of creativity among developers.
